The killer app that you're looking for are 3G cell phones, Every 3G cell phone has to have a IP address, and thats quite alot if you're talking about IPv4 addresses.. So a solution must be found, which people will find in IPv6. I expect IPv6's rise to be concurrent with 3G's adoption.
Personally i am not going to buy this product or any other audio player until i get support for my music files. Which are most in OGG Vorbis format.
I really would jump at the first audio player with OGG support, or flash ROM so i could add it myself.
Any tech-knowhow people here know why there is so little support in general for other audio formats? I heard somewhere that it was a problem of OGG taking up more FPU Power than other formats like MP3 anyone care to comment on that?
Adobe has made some nice Demos of the capabilities of SVG especially things that would previously have been only possible with Flash
Although, being a windows user i could only view it using the Adobe SVG Viewer which only works in IE, any of you have an idea of how to make it work under opera7 drop me a line:)
What I remember of Ximian Desktop is that it behaved like a Windows Service Pack: install it once and you'll never be able to get rid of it, except by reformatting your HD.
What i remember of windows service packs is that after installation you can get rid of them, and no, im not referring to Format c:
People really seem to hate RIAA, and for obvius resons. RIAA's page gets hacked on a regular basis now and here's the most resent example: Pic_1 , Pic_2 , And finally the website as it appeared in HTML at the time.
Offtopic: Just how bad will it look on RIAA's system administratiors resimay to have worked there?

--- Apple Computer is known for its splashy computer designs, and there has been a notable buzz among the Macintosh faithful since the the Patent and Trademark Office's Web site published an Apple patent application several weeks ago.
The company's United States patent application, No. 20030002246, entitled "active enclosure for a computing device," describes a machine that contains an array of rainbow-hued light-emitting diodes. It seems that the quirky computer maker is considering the manufacture of a machine that acts something like a mood ring -- a computer whose shells change colors at the owner's whim.
Perhaps most surprised by the Apple patent application were the engineers at Color Kinetics, a start-up company in Boston that specializes in light-emitting- diode technology. It turns out that Color Kinetics had filed an application for Patent 20020113555, for a "lighting entertainment system," on Dec. 20, 2000. It is intended to cover self-illuminated consumer devices that might include "a television, a computer, a compact disc player, a stereo, a radio, a videocassette player, a DVD player, a toy, a CD-ROM drive, a film projector, a surround sound system, a Dolby sound system, a THX sound system and a tape player."
Apple's application, like that from Color Kinetics, may be viewed on the Patent and Trademark Office's Web site (www.uspto. gov). It became the subject of comment on sites frequented by Macintosh fans.
Neither Apple nor Color Kinetics executives would comment on the seemingly dueling patent applications. But several people close to the companies said that in 2001, Color Kinetics had worked extensively with Apple on the concept, only to have Apple back out of a deal at the last moment. The true illumination of the matter may need to await action by the patent Office.
What have i done?
i live in Iceland and the biggest record company here has begun to encrypt all of its new CD's with key2audio which makes it a bit harder to rip. (without some CloneCD tinkering)
What i do is that i go to the CD store and pick up the CD, then look like im gonna purchase it until suddenly i realice that its protected and i wont be able to play it on my computer (i of course make sure the staff know this)
Its also worth to note that the cheapest new CD's from that company cost $30 going up too $37,5. and you thought your CD's were expensive.
I admit thats not enaugh, without people actually mailing them in the masses protesting and not buying their products nothing will get better, and there simply aren't enaugh of us who actually care about these things. How many people actually know or care about DRM? 10% maybe and how many of those are willing to make a change?
The sad truth is that DRM wont go away unless we start actively protesting it.
is it too mutch to ask that people actually link to urls displaying The text not some NYtimes registration page?
Anyway i dont even have to read this, i'll always disagree with DRM because if i buy a CD i expect to be able to do anything i like with it, listen to it in my car sterio, on my computer not just in my CD player.
I firmly belive it is my right to do so and so is it my right to be able to watch a movie i've paid for anytime i want in any format.
The industry cries about losing money, but do you actually see any of that? It would be nice to see if some of you have information on that, has the movie industry been loosing money since the whole DVD- ripping phenomenon started?
I think not...

Stable BSD is dying!
I too tryed searching for linux @ search.msn.com and all the links you mentioned were blocked by my spam filter (the /etc/hosts file)
my current desktop looks a little bit like this when i need to boot into windows.
Make love not code.

...THIS!
my advice to you is to start off at a small hub for users that have maybe 5-10GB and work your way up.

Woldnt it be nice to first _PROOF_ that video games do damage to children?
and by children i dont mean -18 year olds, i mean -13 year olds.
The requested URL /Mirrors/Info-Mac.Archive/rec/icommune-10b1.hqx was not found on this server.
I wonder, might it have something to do with the fact thatApple reads Slashdot
is there a similar guide to turning my geforce2 into a geforce4 ti 4600?
This just made my day

Strange to see your reply marked as "Score:4,Funny" seeing as a lot of us would actually do that.

Wow! it saw a location within 500km of me....

If they'd get it running on x86 the slowness would most certanly be outweighted by the coolness.
